I didn't run all weekend because I had a massive organizing project upstairs and in the attic I had to complete. We have a guest staying up there this week and it really just needed to be done...long overdue. So I made that my priority. I really glad I got it done before Sunday. Around Sunday night around 10 PM my stomach started to hurt...I really didn't think much of it. I felt fine all day and had a totally normal appetite. By 2 AM I was throwing up. I was up every 1-2 hours. By noon my stomach did not hurt as much anymore, but my head did. Horrible sinus head ache. I have a pretty good pain tolerance, but I was crying it hurt so bad. My whole body was achy. I managed to keep some Advil down (barely) and slept hard for two solid hours straight. When I woke up around 5 PM I felt significantly better...just weak because I didn't eat all day...just drank Gatorade and 7 Up. Today I feel much, much better. I either had food poisoning or it was the tail end of a sinus infection. It was not an intestinal bug at all...totally in my stomach. I don't think I had a fever either. Ready to be healthy!!
I decided I am going to do a triathlon a little later in the summer. That will give me some more time. That way I can get more outside biking in before the actual tri. These next few weeks I am really going to focus on running (and swim/bike for cross training) and get up to 7-8 miles by the second week of March. It's not been a fun last couple of weeks. I have not dealt with this much illness in a couple years. I know there is lots of sinus stuff going around this winter. We did not have a good freeze this year and fall allergies were at an all time high.
